traveler tales
Wanderer's shared experiences
Stories brought back from journeys to distant places, often exaggerated or embellished beyond belief.
The phrase carries inherent skepticism—traveler tales have always been suspected of stretching the truth, since the teller knows listeners can't verify claims about foreign lands: His account of the ruins sounded like traveler tales.
Also traveler's tales.
